Tien [2] are heavenly beings variously translated as angels, fairies, immortals, and spirits in Vietnamese folklore. Yaksha are creatures usually characterized as having dual personalities, found in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. On the one hand, a Yaksha may be an inoffensive nature-fairy, associated with woods and mountains; but there is a much darker version of the Yaksha, which is a kind of cannibalistic ogre, ghost, or demon that haunts the wilderness and waylays, and devours travelers.

They also, according to local lore, were smart, strong, and excellent craftsmen. The Menehune were said to use magic arrows to pierce the heart of angry people, igniting feelings of love in its place. Menehune were rarely seen by human eyes, and they are credited with mighty feats of engineering and overnight construction.

Other hybrid creatures appear in Greek mythology, always with some liminal connection that links Hellenic culture with archaic or non-Hellenic cultures:
Furietti Centaurs Hippocamp Hybrid (mythology) Ipotane Legendary creature Lists of legendary creatures Minotaur Onocentaur Ichthyocentaur Sagittarius Satyr Also,
Hindu Kamadhenu Indian Kinnara which are half-horse and half-man creature. Islamic Buraq, a heavenly steed often portrayed as an equine being with a human face. Philippine Tikbalang Roman Faun, and the Hippopodes of Pomponius Mela, Pliny the Elder, and later authors. Scottish Each uisge and Nuckelavee Welsh Ceffyl Dŵr Additionally, Bucentaur, the name of several historically important Venetian vessels, was linked to a posited ox-centaur or βουκένταυρος (boukentauros) by fanciful and likely spurious folk-etymology.
